Toner Cartridge
The lifetime of the Canon Genuine toner cartridge used in this machine is
approximately 2,000 pages. The page counts are on the basis of ISO/IEC 19752*
when printing A4 size paper with the default print density setting. The level of toner
consumption varies depending on the type of documents printed. If your average
document contains a lot of graphics, tables, or charts, the life of the toner cartridge
will be shorter as they consume more toner. To purchase a new Canon genuine toner
cartridge, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or Canon help line.
* “ISO/IEC 19752” is the global standard related to “Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield
for monochromatic electrophotographic printers and multi-function devices that may contain printer
components” issued by ISO (International Organization for Standardization).

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
● Keep the toner cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The
magnet inside the toner cartridge may harm these items.
● Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in
temperature.
● Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five
minutes.

● Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to
install the toner cartridge in the machine.
● Save the toner cartridge’s protective bag in case you need to repack and transport the
toner cartridge at a later date.
● Do not store the toner cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases
such as from aerosol sprays.
● Do not remove the toner cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
● Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridge. Print quality may
deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.
● Always hold the toner cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective
shutter.
● Do not stand the toner cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner
becomes caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by
shaking the toner cartridge.
1-15
● If there is a toner powder leakage, make sure not to inhale or touch the toner powder. If it
comes in contact with your skin, rinse with cold water using soap. If you feel an irritation
on your skin or inhale the powder, consult a doctor immediately.
● When removing the toner cartridge from the machine, make sure to remove it carefully. If
not removed with care, the toner powder may scatter and come in contact with your eyes
and mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor immediately.
● Keep the toner cartridge away from small children. If they ingest the toner powder,
consult a doctor immediately.
● Do not disassemble the toner cartridge. The toner powder may scatter and come in
contact with your eyes and mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor
immediately.
Do not place the toner cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.

Checking the toner level
You can check the amount of toner remaining in the toner cartridge by pressing the [Toner
Gauge] key. The toner level is displayed in the LCD at four levels.
If the toner gauge indicates that the toner is empty, it is recommended that the toner
cartridge be replaced. (See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge,” on p. 10-10.)

– For a USB memory formatted with the FAT16 file system, the maximum number of files that can
be saved in the root directory (the top level of the directory tree in the USB memory) is only 255.
It is recommended that you use a computer to organize the root directory of your USB memory
beforehand by moving existing files to a newly created folder or by deleting unnecessary files. If all
files in the USB memory are unnecessary, formatting the USB memory to FAT32 is also recommended.
– If the destination folder of the scanned images contains many files, the time it takes to save will
increase. It is recommended that you use a computer to organize your destination folder beforehand
by moving existing files to a newly created folder or by deleting unnecessary files.
– If you are using a USB memory that show multiple drives on a computer instead of just one, saving

If a Power Failure Occurs
If power is suddenly lost due to an outage or accidental unplugging, a built-in battery
retains the user data settings and the speed dialing settings. Any sent or received
documents stored in memory are backed up for about 30 minutes.
During a power cut, functions are limited as follows:
– You cannot send, receive, copy, scan, or print documents.
– You may not be able to make telephone calls using an external telephone, depending on
the type of telephone you use.
– You can receive telephone calls using the optional handset. You can also receive
telephone calls using an external telephone depending on the type of telephone you
use.
To fully charge the built-in battery, it takes approximately 12 hours when the main power switch is on. If the
built-in battery is not fully charged, the data may not be saved properly.
